The Wrath Of The Shadow Wolf
CHAPTER TWO - ALL FOR MUM
Wright rushes down the staircase and went to see who was at the door. He wasn’t expecting any guest this early and he wondered who it was that have come to see him by this time.
He got to the door and opened it. He managed to force some smiles as he saw Maeve and Riley standing right before him, each holding a bunch of flowers. They presence gave him some sort of a reassurance, the kind that he felt he needed at this present situation.
Riley is Riona’s classmate and even though they had not been best of friends, they still find a way to get along. Maeve is Riley’s mother. Maeve started showing interest and coming close to the family after Evolette passed on.
“You are here already” Wright said as he welcomed them into the house.
“Good morning Wright” Maeve greeted.
“Hello Maeve, hello Riley” Wright greeted the both of them.
He moved a little and gave way for the both of them to enter inside the house and with a smile on their faces, they entered and dropped their flowers on a table. However, they both remained standing. Wright closed the door and turned towards them.
“Good morning Mr. Wright. We brought some flowers for you and Riona” Riley announced.
“That is very thoughtful of you Riley” Wright responded.
“And how is Riona?” Riley asked.
“I believe she is fine Riley” Wright replied.
“Would I be able to go be with her?” Riley requested.
“I doubt she would want that, but anyways, thanks for the offer, I appreciate” Wright replied.
Haven gotten a negative response from Wright, Riley went to sit on a couch.
“How is she, have you been able to tell her yet?” Maeve asked.
Instead of providing a response, Wright rubbed his hands on his face.
“I can help you do that if you don’t mind” Maeve volunteered.
“There would be no need for that Maeve, I can take care of it, I assure you of that” he said.
“Are you sure you do not need my help Wright?” Maeve asked.
She smiles as she speaks. She knows how difficult it had been for Wright to pass this information to his daughter, Riona. He has been postponing this for like forever and right now, he cannot delay any longer and must tell her this very moment.
“Trust me already Maeve, I said I got this completely under control” he responded.
“Come on Wright, I know exactly how these things are. She is human and we both know how emotional they can get over things like this” Maeve said.
Wright quickly looked around the house to know if someone has heard Maeve’s last sentence. When he was certain that they were the only ones in the room, he whispered “please keep it low Maeve, be conscious of your environment”
“Sorry if I scared you Wright, but I know they was no other person here” Maeve mumbled.
“I said I got this under control, I can handle it” Wright snapped.
